    Finally footballl that lives up to its last gen predecsors

    NCAA 09 is the game college football fans have been waiting for. Electronic Arts has finally delivered a next gen college game worth 60$. It also brings one of the most realistic stadium simulations ever in a football game. This combined with a new animation system and a fully realized online franchise mode make this a must own for every college football fan.

    The first aspect of NCAA that grabs your attention is the variety of new animations in the game. These animations seem to procedurally generate as one plays the game. For example I noticed that a player can now escape a tacklers animation. This may not seem like much. But not being stuck in some phony animation after clearly making the tackler miss is game changing.  Also the graphics have seen some minor improvements the crowds look less like a blob and the lighting now more dynamic. However there are still some noticeable freezes and frame rate issues that need to be ironed out.

    The biggest new feature advertised by the game is the ability  to have online league. Through Xbox live you are now able to join or host a college football league. This is just as fun as it sounds. The ability to have a persistent football world where you can challenge your friends is fantastic.  The best way to describe it is fanasty football taken to the next level.

    In conculsion, NCAA is well worth 60$ to anyone who loves college football.

I once missed a field goal and got three points for it. As well as the fact that during Campus Legend mode, there are no night games. Atmosphere is what makes College Football what it is, and the absence of Saturday Night Showdowns dur...

      Solid Game 0

      EA definitely did not disappoint me this year,like the past few years with Ncaa 08 and 07 both falling short of expectations.Ncaa football 09 brought back the Home Field Advantage system where the camera shakes and your Quarterback starts to get rattled,Plus if you throw an interception,they quiz you on the defense that was called.There's also this new feature called "Ice The Kicker" so when you call a time out as the kicker comes out to make the game tying or winning kick,the camera zooms in be...
